Ok...

I was thinking about how it's annoying to switch back and forth between the dashboard for the calculator widget and whatever other application I need it for when I thought of this idea... what if widgets could be taken off of the dashboard and bound to another application window?

When you click on the window, the widget automatically comes down. When you click off, it goes away.

Widgets would actually become completely separate from dashboard. They'd be their own application add ons. They could be accessed from a folder in the dock... you drag them out of their folder and onto the window you want to use it with.

Dashboard would still exist... but not for widgets. Dashboard would exist for the sole purpose of viewing dash clippings.

Good idea or no?
